Great Female Vocalist Country Music?

Thread Starter 
I listen to a decent amount of good country: Townes van Zandt, Steve Earle, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash et al. but I'm afraid I don't have any of their female counterparts. I've really been digging this modern girl who plays as Tiny Vipers but I'd like some counterparts to Townes and them.

Please give me some good recs!

(and none of that contemporary pop country nonsense)

I'm not generally a fan of female singers, but I really enjoy Emmylou Harris. She's pretty amazing.

Ms. Emmylou
Tift Merritt
Sara Watkins
Faith Hill's voice isn't excellent, but I would cut off a hand to be with her.

This is a rare example of the proper use of the /thread.

Right now I'm listening to a bit of Bonnie Bishop. She's still hitting her stride, but Soft to the Touch and Things That I Know are strong tracks.

Loretta Lynn has such a great voice.

Gillian Welch but you've probably heard her already Carter Family Iris Dement Laura Cantrell But if you come across any female country artists who are really earthy and haunting, please let me know. I love the idea of country but I've come across so few artists I can actually listen to.
